Experience the irresistible flavor of charcoal-grilled kababs, slow-simmered curries, and freshly baked naan. Real ingredients. Real fire. Real good.

Our Story

Sultan Kabab & Grill was born from a simple craving: the craving for food that’s honest, satisfying, and full of flavor.

We saw that Pittsburgh was hungry for something different. Not a complicated fine-dining experience, but a place where you could get a sizzling, spice-packed meal that feels both adventurous and comforting.

So, we built a kitchen around a single, powerful tool: the tandoor – a traditional clay oven that reaches soaring temperatures to sear meats and puff up breads in ways a standard grill just can't match. We put that tandoor right on McKnight Road, and started sharing what we believe is the best-kept secret in the North Hills.

Think of us as your neighborhood spot for incredible grilled food and flavorful, saucy curries. We took everything we love about classic tandoori cooking and made it accessible, welcoming, and consistently delicious for Pittsburgh.
